Steyn writes:
Personally, I'm relaxed about sodomy, which isn't the same as being relaxed during sodomy. --
I've hung around the theater most of my adult life, and I love the likes of Cole Porter and the eccentric English composer and painter Lord Berners. These are the fellows who thought homosexuality was one of those things ''Too Good For The Average Man,'' in the words of Lorenz Hart's sly lyric--too special for the masses. These days, the gay movement insists it's as average as any man, if not more so. Watching the two chubby gays being wed by a gay vicar on the steps of the courthouse in Vancouver the other day, Cole Porter would have wondered what on earth was the point of being homosexual.
Steyn's bio reveals he's a straight Canadian who writes books on Broadway musicals. Go figure.
Not So Long Ago.
In a Washington Post op-ed titled Evolution on Gay Marriage, Fred Hiatt asks:

I guess we'll know soon enough.
